Huawei blamed Google's software even though it was reproducible regardless of version and no longer affected phones with the batteries replaced.
UPDATE: ok just received my phone back from huehue way RMA
seems they have done fuckall except update my phone to N which i specifically asked them NOT to do several times and told over 3 support people to make sure was in the notes i also attached a handwritten note tot eh device with an elastic asking them not to update it to N
with big "N" on it drawn in sharpie magic marker with a big red ghostbusters style crossout symbol over it

the phone is exactly as i sent it, they asked mt remove anything on it but i left on my glass screen protector
which i figured they could take off it need be, it came back with the screen protector still in place
i restored the phone and it still has the same batter issue as when i sent it in, phone was retured with no documentation like other devices i have RMA'd in the past . no invoice for any work done to the phone , just nice huehueway box and pen and business card in the box and nothing else
i called them up to report that the issue is still persisting and to inquire what work was actually done, they kept me on hols for 40 min then told me they don't know because their system is not updated yet and to call back

wow what waste of time somehow i knew it would be, i also asked them about purchasing a warranty extentinon and they do not even offer any
i do not know who is worse huehue way google

tried to restore my photos and found out that google photos can backup your photos but it can not even restore them to the device
a perfect example of what a half ass piece of shit company google is,make option to backup photos, does not bother to add option to restore them jesus christ how can one company be so retarded
i backed them up to a physical drive anyway but not the point plus they will probably not restore right from the drive as far as timeline goes from what i read

Huawei hasn't been great with customer support from what I've heard.
Also Photos was designed for backing up without the need normally to restore. Just put them back from your local backup if you're that bothered.

It went on sale so I'm finally upgrading to the Blackberry DTEK50 when it comes in on Monday. Weirdly enough I feel confident in saying that Blackberry makes the very best Android phones, with maybe only the Nexus and pixel lines being competition. I'm not interested in throwing out my phone every six months just because it no longer gets any updates.

God. My first phone was an old Samsung slider phone. I can't even find the model number for. Then I got a Blackberry 8320. (Brickbreaker was the sh*t man.) Which actually still works and got me through middle School. After that I got an iPhone 4 because my sisters broke my Kindle fire. Used that for a while until I broke the back glass. Then I got a Moto G gen 1. And then life was changed forever. I ended up bricking it after having it like 2 months. Kek I was an idiot. I switched back to the iPhone 4 for a while. Then I got a blackberry q5, which was used until I got a OnePlus One last September. Which is by far my favorite and most powerful phone I have ever owned. Along the way I ended up picking up a Motorola Droid X, a Moto E gen 2, and an iPhone 5s.

iPhone 4S.
I'm surprised it works fairly decently with iOS 9.3.5, despite the fact the battery will run out after only 2 hours.

No need to upgrade any time soon, though.

I have a family friend that repairs cracked glass on smartphones for a living. He gifted me an Samsung Galaxy S5. Customer brought it in as a trade-in (broken glass/missing back cover), and he fixed the busted glass and put on a cover onto it. It works well, and it's my first smartphone...

Alcatel Fierce 4. it's my second model after cracking the firsts screen. A lot of people hate it. I think it looks great, and has an AM/FM tuner, when I want to listen to classical music. No one has rooted any Alcatel Fierce 4 phones yet. idk must be an oddball.

Alcatel One Touche Fire. This piece of crap had Firefox OS on default, but I'm using android now, and there's only 256 ram shared.. so 190MB ram for use, almost everything hangs include webbrowser, but for call, youtube, gps and some various app I needed is enough. I'm looking for some good new phone for photos like Samsung Galaxy J5.

Got this pile all fully but of course, only use one. The top middle phone.

5x Androids
1x iPhone (3GS)

My niece got into the bad habit of having the latest phone (iPhone 6, 7 or w/e) and so when I wanted to give her my 3GS she didn't want, it doesn't run new apps. Kids are very spoiled by the parents they have.

I'm looking into buying a cheap 10" Android tablet (BEISTA) but still not totally sold on it due to wanting second opinions and the Amazon reviews don't quite suffice for me.

Still on my DTEK50. For the first time ever I genuinely believe I will use this phone for years until it dies, even after six months.

I mean, she has a point, the 3GS as a smartphone nowadays is mostly useless since it's really limited by Apple's locked down system (No custom ROMs plus lack of active support for jailbreak tweaks) and its hardware (single core Cortex-A8, just 256MB of RAM and 32GB max. storage space in its best/premium model), it can't even be used to browse the internet properly, plus all unpatched bugs and security issues. I guess that the oldest usable phone is something with a Moto G (2013) performance. Pre-2012 smartphones didn't age as well as their desktop/laptop counterparts.


Although if she refuses something newer and usable because "mah iPhone", I would agree on your spoiled statement.
